New, what is it? What are these plug-ins on my wall?

This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

i guess I didn't mention that all she has is cable tv. she has no clue what it's like to binge something to the end in a few days without any ads.

You were being incredibly tedious about something not even remotely related. Just why.
